Best Teacher And Me
Really Falling in Heart

Sunday is over. The Monday that the students were waiting for arrived. Monday that makes Kila did not stop waiting for the moment he faced with Irsyad. Monday has arrived.

Kila had already shown a cheerful face. Until the peak, at the end of the lesson that Irsyad will teach is no longer unstoppable cheer from the look of Kila's face. His eyes sparkled as Irsyad entered his class. True to his grandmother's guess, now Kila realized that he had really fallen for Irsyad.

The two friends by the window looked at Kila. They felt that something had happened last night, so Kila was acting too cheerfully today. Kila is easy to express herself through her face and behavior. So that people around him know what he feels like sad or happy. Like you can talk or not. But some adam who understand about the behavior of this one.

...****************...

Indonesian Language lessons are almost done. Throughout the lesson, Kila continued to steal a glance towards Irsyad. Usually he always pay attention to every teacher who teaches at his hour. Be it when the teacher speaks, explains, or is silent. However, to Irsyad today he was unable to do it as usual. As a result, Kila tried to pay attention even looks like a mere stealing of sight.

Kila immediately lowered her head as Irsyad's eyes looked at Kila, as she stared at all of her students and at Kila's turn she looked at.

"Crazy, what's wrong? You didn't pay attention to my explanation as usual" Irsyad said. He had already ended the material explanation first.

"There's nothing, sir. I noticed, really," Kila replied lowered her head. He did not want to make eye contact with Irsyad.

"No, you're not what you used to be. Usually you always look in detail at what I do. From the moment I explain, write on the board, until I discuss a small thing on this table you always pay attention," explained Irsyad.

The feeling of Kila alone or indeed Irsyad is only really paying attention to Kila as well? Because, Kila was the most reprimanded student or spoken to by Irsyad. Even Irsyad knows what kind of behavior Kila usually.

"No way, I'll answer that my concentration was broken when I kept paying attention to Mr. Irsyad?" Kila asked in her mind.

"Yes already, it's okay. Maybe you have a problem I don't know about. Next, you should really pay attention. You said you wanted to be proud of yourself in front of your parents, right? You want to give the best results for your future as well. Getting a dream university, so you try to be active in academic learning. I'm a very supportive homeroom teacher, because I know you're smart and have the potential for it. So my job is to remind you" Irsyad made clear. Most of the explanations are the result of last night's homeroom and student guardian meetings.

Kila fell silent and lowered her head. He made a big smile, so he tried to hide it. It seems that Irsyad's explanation made Kila fall in love again and again. From what Kila understands, Irsyad is a good listener and observer. To the extent that, the meeting last night was so clear he remembered just about anything that had been talked about.

Kila tried not to show off her red face. He neutralized that pounding heartbeat by breathing deeply. Then he replied, "Okay, sir. Thank you so much for reminding me."

After Kila responded to his remark, Irsyad switched. He began to correct the duties of the students he had previously assigned and had been collected by Fadli earlier.

"Akil, what was the meeting last night? Jay's surf?" ask Ira. They headed towards the school gate. Today Ira does not join his excursion, because of the busyness of the members of the exkul in school duties, especially the upperclassmen. Therefore, Ira headed to the gate with Kila and Risa to go straight home.

"Jaya surf? There-there's you, Ra. Yeah, like a regular meeting. What are you, Ris? After my name, your name is in the order of the student's name?" kila said, turning to Risa.

"Yes, after Afifah Syakila my name is, Princess Arisa. Mr. Irsyad also said so," Risa responded.

"So there is also a saying, for in class and so on. Mr. Irsyad will come in the hours of the parents' office, around after Ashar. This happens to all students. It's different with you, Kil. Visited during office hours, on Sundays. It feels special." Risa continued in a slightly seductive tone to Kila.

"It's coincidence. After all, it was the first meeting. Mr. Irsyad may not have thought about the system. And so, he decided when we met in his office that time. My prediction, maybe Mr. Irsyad remembered that he was free on Sunday so he decided to have his first meeting with the student guardian on Sunday," said Kila trying to defend himself.

"Yes, believe me, deh. We do not need to debate, we are friends," said Ira mediate. He then embraced his two friends with himself in the middle position.

"But Akil, I think I'm the same Risa agreed," Ira continued.

"What deal?" ask Kila curious.

"You've really fallen for Mr. Irsyad. The proof was, you tried to defend Mr. Irsyad. And in class, we noticed that you were controlling your heart rate while chatting with Mr. Irsyad. You don't have to dodge, we already know the answer. We'll keep this a secret" Ira replied. Kila thought Ira would try to defend herself on the topic of Mr. Irsyad being discussed with Risa. Apparently Ira even followed along to tease Kila.

Kila let go of Ira's embrace and quickened her pace to avoid embarrassment because she couldn't dodge it anymore.

"Yes, I was first. I've been waiting in front of the problem," Risa quits and switches.

"I am too, Kil. Going to the motor park, "followed by Ira.

Kila kept walking out the school gate. Then he stopped at the bus stop in front of his school to wait for the angkot to arrive. Kila never felt jealous of what her two best friends were up to when she left and went home from school. He was always grateful to be able to go to school with an angkot who kept coming when he needed it. He did not want to compare his lack of life with others. Kila always remembered God's promise of "thankfulness".

"Thank God, I'll have My favor. And when you disbelieve, my torment is painful." (Qs Ibrahim verse 7)
